Cancer treatment can cause various long-term side effects, including those that impact ultrasound findings. During follow-up of childhood cancer survivors (CCSs), we often detected sporadic renal angiomyolipomas without histological confirmation (SAMLs), which is why we initiated this study. We compared the occurrence of SAML in CCSs to the previously reported data from a non-cancer population and correlated SAML with cancer treatment-related factors.
